Cushnie, Minus Ochs, Plus Denim

You may be familiar with the awkward-to-pronounce brand Cushnie et Ochs? Well, it’s awkward no more, because there’s no more Ochs. After 10 years in business together, Michelle Ochs and Carly Cushnie have parted ways. From the sounds of this Elle article (fifth paragraph), it was not an amicable separation.

But at least one good thing to come out of the new rebranding as simply Cushnie is a denim collection, which the now-solo designer has wanted to dive into for quite a while.

“That’s often how I wear the collection: mixed with denim. And a lot of the girls in the office wear the collection mixed with denim too,” she told Business of Fashion.

The six-pieces capsule collection is a collaboration with Lee Jeans’ Body Optix brand, and includes several styles of jeans as well as a top, a jumpsuit and a dress.
